The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is an aerodynamically efficient vehicle that is the latest sedan version among the fourth-generation A-Class. It is a city-sized four-door car that is well-equipped with technology and is a perfect mix of performance and beauty.
The 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a long-running staple from the brand. This small car weathered more than two decades of staying true to its roots. It successfully outlived the fads among subcompact cars and focused on giving a fun drive.
The all-new A-Class has an attractive silhouette that is reminiscent of its sedan roots. This year’s model has a sporty appeal thanks to the short front and rear overhangs. The hood is also a bit longer but the deck has shorter proportions. There are also wheel arches that look good especially with 19-inch wheels. Its cabin boasts of sophistication in both material quality and appearance.
The MX-5 has a revolutionary design that aims to make the car look confident in any weather condition. Its 16-inch alloy wheels go well with the exterior and they add an assurance that the car can be driven anywhere. The well-crafted interior does not feel claustrophobic even if the cabin is small.
The A-Class has the MBUX system for infotainment. It has straightforward controls and is carefully arranged to complement the ambient interior lighting. There are plenty of both standard and optional driver aids such as lane-keeping assist, automated emergency braking system, and more.
For the MX-5, more attention was placed on getting advanced connectivity and safety features. It is noticeable, though, that they settled on Bluetooth® technology instead of the latest smartphone integrations. It has optional upgrades for modern driver aids like the forward-collision warning system.
The 2.0-liter engine under the A-Class’ hood delivers 188 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. The car is both responsive and intuitive to drive, thanks to its standard front-wheel drive train. The road grip is also excellent.
The MX-5 Miata, on the other hand, has up to 151lb-ft of torque and 181 hp from its 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. It requires a light steering effort that is both precise and predictable.
As a subcompact vehicle, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a stunning winner against the 2019 MX-5 Miata. If you are looking for sophistication, advanced technology, and impressive performance, then you don’t have to look elsewhere than the A-Class. The MX-5 looks nice but not as premium in appearance compared to the A-Class. It also lacks enough technology to rival the MBUX. In terms of performance, the A-Class also has a stronger engine and is more confident-inspiring than the MX-5.
